Captain Venture Treasures of the Sea Review

Pirates seem to be in the wind lately, and Greentube’s Captain Venture: Treasures of the Sea is made with a keen eye for detail. From the gentle sway of the tropical waters in the background, to the animated bottle of rum, you can almost feel the salty air hitting your lungs when you start this game. To wrest you out of any lengthy daydreams however, the game comes with a far less idyllic math model.

The medium to high volatility will take you for a far more bumpy ride than you might expect judging only by the weather. This is a game for casual players who enjoy a bit of unpredictability. It offers plenty of variety in the base game, and you never know what will come from the bonus round. However, it’s shamed by a somewhat low potential, not least since you can win up to only 400x your stake without any multiplier action.

Captain Venture: Treasures of the Sea Features

The Captain himself is the wild symbol in this game, and he will step in for all regular pay symbols. The base game comes with 4 randomly triggered bonus features, and here’s an overview of what you can look forward to:

• Sea Change - sinks the reels into the ocean, and they will then resurface with a fresh batch of symbols for a new win calculation.
• Anchor Drop Respins - can trigger only if the anchor symbol is present, and all reels with anchor symbols spin again to give you a new winning chance.
• Treasure Chest Bounty - adds extra gemstone symbols to the reels.
• X Marks the Spot Respins - triggered by Captain Venture and a treasure map, a wheel spins to determine how many respins you get.

  

  The Captain Venture wild roams around on each respin and highlights positions. This can lead to multiplier boosts of either 1x, 2x or 3x.

You need at least 3 ship’s wheel scatters anywhere in sight to trigger the Mystery Multiplier Bonus Round. You’ll first get a scatter win of 5x, 20x or 75x your stake for 3, 4 or 5 scatters, respectively. Then, you’ll be granted a random number of free spins between 5 and 14.

A mini ship’s wheel is now placed above the reel set, and it comes up with a random multiplier on each spin. The multiplier can be anything from 2x to 6x, but Captain Venture might upgrade the multiplier range up to 10x.

The 200 Spins Captain Venture: Treasures of the Sea Experience

The treasure chest opened up to give us a decent gemstone win at first, but this was followed by plenty of dead spins and minor payouts. We trigger the bonus round at 1:45 into the 3-minute highlights video, but we won only 6 free spins from the ship’s wheel. How much (or little) we got away with is something you’ll have to discover for yourself by hitting the play button.

Review Summary

Greentube could have so easily gone with a static background image, but instead they’ve taken the time to include animated waters and a ship sailing across the ocean in the background. This kind of attention to detail is appreciated, and it helps make the game feel more alive. Is it enough to lift this game out of mediocrity though. We highly doubt it.

Sure, the 4 random base game features adds to the shelf-life of this game, and makes it less of a grind than it could have been. The bonus round takes place when the sun is setting, and the random mystery multiplier makes it a very unpredictable affair. We got the short end of the stick to say the least, but it will raise your pulse a bit whenever it triggers.

Pros

• 4 random base game features
• Bonus round with random multiplier
• Win up to 2,136,4x your stake

Cons

• RTP of 95.07 % is below average
